Day -1

so it's the day before i get on that plane to DC for staging. i haven't exactly completed my packing. more like, i put all the stuff i want to take with me on the floor next to the bags i have to take them. the proportion of space in bags to stuff i own... does not bode well...

so i ate some marshmallows instead and recharged my camera.

there's still paperwork i haven't completed and random things that i know, for sure, i've forgotten. but hey, (to quote one rugger, buffalo) whaddyagonna do?

i'm pretty sure i've packed the essentials, and probably a whole bunch of things that i shouldn't have packed but i've done so anyway.

it still hasn't really hit that i'll be leaving for peru.

these next few days will certainly be interesting...
